“Đời cha ăn mặn, đời con khát nước.”
“When the father’s generation eats salt, the child’s generation thirsts for water.”
-Vietnamese proverb
No one has ever succeeded in any pride-worthy endeavor without first having passed through a period of pain, whether it related to career, physical fitness, or even their social lives. Major life changes, even positive ones, are painful. The pain signifies that you have stepped beyond your comfort zone.

“There is no gene for the human spirit.”
This is, by far, my favorite movie of all time. It never ceases to inspire whenever I watch it, giving me that much needed shot of ambition. The story takes place in the future when liberal eugenics is the norm. No genetic modification takes place, however it is routine for would-be parents to select the “best” sperm and egg from an extracted batch of their own gametes. Every now and then, a couple decides to conceive a child naturally leaving his or her genetic fate up to a draw of the DNA.

My adjustment to life in California is finally complete. The main sticking point slowing my progress was my inability to let go of the past, the five-star life I had in New York.

What do you want more than anything else?
Is it a new career? The same career, but a better position within your field? The same position, only with better pay?
What can you do to move closer to that goal? What will you do? Career achievement and advancement do not come automatically.

So I went to see “Katy Perry: Part of Me” the other day. If you think this might be the girliest movie ever…
…you’d be right. But! You should watch it anyway. The movie begins with kids giving testimony to Katy Perry’s awesomeness while lights sparkle in the background. At first, I did have an incredible urge to leave the theatre lest I spontaneously transform into a teenage girl. And maybe I would have, if not for the fact that I had dragged my girlfriend to go see it with me in the first place.
